Initial In Vivo Quantification of Tc-99m Sestamibi Uptake as a Function of Tissue Type in Healthy Breasts Using Dedicated Breast SPECT-CT

Figure 2

Plots of the centroids of the fitted Gaussian functions for BSA scatter-corrected (a) cylinder and (b) cone phantoms using various mixtures of methanol and water to simulate different uniform tissue densities. NIST-based attenuation values are indicated by matching tick marks on the y-axis of the cylinder graph. The cone phantom results indicate a significant dependence of the measured attenuation value on object size.
